Get matched to Kansas City homes that aren't on the public market.

Some sellers choose to sell privately. They want fewer showings, less exposure, or a quiet sale on their own timeline. The Off-Market Buyer Registry puts your criteria in front of those sellers first. Register once. When a home fits, you get the call.

Takes about two minutes. Chad reviews every registration personally and follows up within one business day.

How does the Off-Market Buyer Registry work?

You tell us exactly what you want. We keep it on file. When a private seller's home matches, you hear about it directly.

  1. Register your criteria

    Areas, price range, bedrooms, must-haves, timing, and where your financing stands.

  2. Chad reviews your file

    A personal follow-up within one business day to confirm your criteria and answer questions.

  3. Get matched

    When a seller who wants a private sale fits your criteria, you get the details and the chance to see it.

Who should register?

The registry fits you if you are

  • Tired of losing homes to multiple offers
  • Pre-approved, or working on it now
  • Relocating to the Kansas City metro and short on search time
  • An investor looking for flips or small multifamily
  • Clear on what you want and ready to move when it shows up

What to expect. Private sales are a smaller pool than the MLS. Registering does not replace a full home search. It adds a second channel most buyers never see.

The more specific your criteria, the faster a real match shows up.

Questions buyers ask

What is an off-market home?

A home the owner is willing to sell without public marketing. Sellers go this route for privacy, to avoid a stream of showings, or to sell on a specific timeline.

Does it cost anything to register?

No. Registration is free. Before you tour any home with us, we'll sign a written buyer agreement, as current industry rules require. Compensation is negotiable and spelled out in that agreement.

Do I need to be pre-approved?

Not to register. Most private sellers will want to see a pre-approval letter or proof of funds before a showing, so starting that process early puts you in position.

What areas does the registry cover?

23 cities across the metro. In Kansas: Bonner Springs, Kansas City, Leawood, Lenexa, Olathe, Overland Park, Shawnee, and Roeland Park. In Missouri: Blue Springs, Gladstone, Grain Valley, Independence, Kansas City, Lake Lotawana, Lake Tapawingo, Lake Winnebago, Lee's Summit, Liberty, North Kansas City, Oak Grove, Raintree Lake, Raymore, and Raytown.

Can investors register?

Yes. Note your strategy on the form, whether that's a flip, a rental, or small multifamily, and your matches will reflect it.

What happens to my information?

It's used to match you with homes and to contact you about your search. It is not sold. You can opt out of texts or emails at any time. See the privacy policy.
